Cabelas?.....They don't need a site; practically own Gunsinternational.

I've purchased 8 shotguns from Cabela's Gun library in St. Louis, but none from their web site. I've been pleased with each one.
Some of their shotguns are indeed overpriced, but it is easy to just ignore those. In a few instances, I've bought guns that had lived in their showcase for a year or so, by offering a much lower price. After the sales person discussed it with their manager, they sometimes accepted my offer. As long as you do so politely, they don't seem to be offended by the lower bids. Sometime they accept, sometime they do not.
Most of the longgun Gun Library showcases in St. Louis are not locked, and one can easily examine the merchandise. The pistols are locked up.
One friend bought a used Guerini from the Gun Library, and the buttstock broke the first day it was fired. Cabela's sent it back to Guerini, and it returned with a new, and fancier, buttstock at no cost to my friend.
Another friend bought a high grade older American classic,and encountered a trigger problem. Cabela's tried to have it repaired locally, and that didn't work, so they refunded his money.
Generally, I have been quite happy dealing with the local Cabela's Gun Library, and think I've made several decent purchases.

I never thought I'd hear that folks were rallying to preserve an endangered website configuration.

Cabela's
Please find a way to designate which guns are NEW. Make them the fist selections or mark them. As per my phone conversation with customer service I do not want to scroll through all the doubleguns to find the new ones. The old site is far superior to this new one. Guns America found out when they redid theirs. I now use Guns International most of the time. I am a disappointed Cabela's Gun Library fan that has bought several guns from various locations.

Guys-
Keep the input coming.
I've heard that the site is in a stake of flux right now. Customer opinions may stand a chance of influencing the new site's look and features.
Someone is listening, so start talking.
Thanks

Hey Guys, ignoring EDH's usual arrogance, we should realize that there are a lot of people at Cabelas do know what they are talking about. The world does not revolve around Parkers, which many of us consider an overcomplicated-overpriced gun. There are lots of good doubles out there, many of them at Cabelas. I have bought and sold a lot of guns there, and have ALWAYS been treated fairly. I was in Cabelas, Sidney today, visiting with Tom Bryant, a good friend and shooting companion. Tom let me know that there are about 190,000 pics to be converted with thousand more being added all the time.....SO, give them some time, they will get it fixed. EDH? shop elsewhere....

Well the search function is back. That is an improvement.

LD, you have sinned by insulting Parkers. Go to confession--immediately--or risk being struck by lightning. Or hit on the head by a falling Parker.
